As an update to our previous lemonade stand challenge, we have decided to turn this into a full-fledged contest with a winner, a prize, and bragging rights to boot. We will send a “Benjamin” ($100) to the winning entry. 

There are a few catches however. You must fulfill the “experiment” as stated in the Lemonade Stand Challenge article, but we will go over the rules again…

• A minimum of one hour must be spent giving away “free” lemonade, but accepting tips. Make a sign if you want! (We Accept Tips, Thanks for the Tips, Tipping is not a city in China, etc.)
• You must spend an equal amount of time selling lemonade at normal price, and still accept tips if you want.
• Provide statistics: number of lemonade sales in each session, price you charged during non-free session, total revenue in each session, average revenue per sale, biggest sale/tip in each session.
• Must send in results by e-mail.
• Include in e-mail a photo of you with lemonade holding a sign of any size that says Finding Benjamin. This verifies that you didn’t make all this up. (Videos are also acceptable if you feel up to the challenge!)
• We will ask your permission if we want to post any photos you send us .
• All entries that fulfill the above requirements will be put into a hat and the winner will be drawn at random. 
• The deadline for this contest is September 7, 2009 (Labor Day), so get busy perfecting that lemonade-selling strategy!
